Can anyone explain the difference on Chuck Hiller 188? Checking the flickr account, it looks like the green tint as a less pronounced green field in the background, and that the pole is almost red in color as opposed to the regular version with a dark green field and a black colored pole. Is this accurate?
Also, what are the tells for Bob Nieman 182? I could not discern any from the flickr page. How about the Hot Corner Guardians 163? Bob Duliba 149? Alou 133? Woodling 125? Murphy 119? I am sorry for all of the questions but looking at the cards side by side on the flickr page I could not tell the difference between these six.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

When you have both versions next to each other (IE on the flickr site or in hand), scan the edges of the card's image closest to the outside border. The differences are easy to see due to the variations in the image's cropping. For example, on the Hiller card, along the top border, you can see that the flag in the background is cropped differently....there is more flag showing on the GT version. On card 182 the on deck circle is larger on the Gt version, on 163 you can see less of Boyer's glove on the GT. You can do this with each card in question.
